So the end comes swiftly and decisively
Before a wail or howl screeches upon
Sensitive ears
I cannot hear the sweet for the bitter
Has tainted my tongue with forgetfulness
And my eyes are scaled so as not to see
Anymore the ravisher
Love has become a meaningless thing
In between,  
A drape to hold off ugly truths
and disgust over past mistakes
Oh,
the taste of defeat heralds the
Awakening of new beginnings
And a closing, finally, of pain
Of years
The mourning will dawn but not
For you
In mirror of eyes, I shall reflect
Upon sadness
Yes, hold in arms tender the one
Lost…

Nice imagery. Tasting tart lemons in this.

Yep...I know this most recently I'm afraid.

Enjoyed!
